WeissLaw is investigating whether APU's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, APU shares traded for $37.34, or $4.05 above the per share consideration, as recently as December. Additionally, the Company announced positive financial results in the first quarter. It reported adjusted EBITDA of $210.7 million, representing growth of $16.6 million year-over-year when compared to the $194.1 million reported in the same period of the previous year.
Given these facts, WeissLaw is concentrating its investigation on whether APU's Board conducted a fair process in agreeing to the proposed acquisition, whether the proposed acquisition undervalues the Company, and whether all material information related to the proposed acquisition is fully and fairly disclosed.
WeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance relief in many of these cases.
